No HD-DVD Movies Until April
Jed from Pan and Scan writes "It's official: when the first HD-DVD players are released on March 28, there will be no movie titles available in the new high-def format for at least another three weeks, and far fewer than initially announced. Warner, the only studio that was planning on having HD-DVD movies to accompany the format's much ballyhooed debut, will now release just three initial HD-DVD titles -- and not until April 18."
...the format's much ballyhooed debut...
If it was during the full moon on April 13th, it wouldn't be ballyhoo but skullduggery.
You can get HD content right now, with no added cost to yourself. I am sure there are a torrent of options that could be found with a bit of searching.
"Did they just have a monkey throw a dart at the board for those picks?"
It would have been someone in the marketing department who made these choices, so that's a yes.
Uhm, duh, before there can be a Star Wars release, George Lucas has to rewrite the script again.
I have seen the future, and it is inconvenient.
How on eArth caN you Say tHat? NO, That can't be right. FrIckin' Retard. There! I Said iT!
You are in a maze of little twisting passages, all different.
Well, yeah. I had no interest in watching $1M Baby before now, but at quadruple the resolution...wow! And checkout those blemishes on Tom Cruise's chin! I knew it!
No matter how much you increase the resolution, it still won't make people appear on the screen in a movie they weren't in ;-)
But trust me, there are plenty of movies out there that are much, much worse.
Indeed they are called Revolutions and Reloaded.
